Touristen sollen nicht auf den gequälten Elefanten reiten!

Thirssur Pooram controversy turns spotlight on captive elephants in Kerala's temple festivals
https://scroll.in/article/923061/kerala-temple-festival-as-ban-on-celebrity-elephant-is-lifted-spotlight-moves-to-stress-on-animalsAnimal rights groups say the festival season puts a huge amount of pressure on the state’s captive elephants who do not receive adequate rest for several months at a time.
[…]The festival season is also particularly stressful for elephants because they have to be transported from one venue to another. For this, they are often loaded onto trucks and shackled, and have to remain that way on long road journeys without much sleep or food
